URL Filtering with Squid/Squidguard
-
Hi. My goal here is to have URL filtering using a downloadable blacklist without any configuration on the client pc's.
I setup Squid with transparent mode enabled, uploaded a blacklist to Squidguard and set some "deny's" on the "default" page. For the redirect I have "ext url redirect" with the url pointing to an error page I have (using vHosts package actually).
This seems to be working but I have a couple of questions.
Firstly, can I get some relevant info on the error page? perhaps the category in the blacklist that the url falls in to?
Also, I read on the squidguard docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm) that if Squid is in transparent mode I'll only be able to use the setting on the default page. Is there any way around this? Can I have Squid not be in transparent mode without having to configure every client to point to the proxy?I'm using this setup for lack of a better option, if you know of one, please let me know.

Sorry to hijack your thread but have you managed to get vhosts working in non-ssl mode (http)?
I have tried and failed. I can only make it work in https. What pfsense version are you running?

I didn't really do anything special to get it working, although I did need to reboot the system before the service would start properly. If it helps I'm not using port 80 for the PFsense GUI. I'm using 1.2.3

Ah, interesting.
Still not working for me though. ???

You can test ACL work in transparent mode
I'm not sure what this situation correct writen in docs(http://diskatel.narod.ru/sgquick.htm), because don't has full testing.What you can do for test ACL in transparent mode:
Set Default_All to deny on Default page
Add ACL with you subnet and set Default_All ad allow
APPLY and Browse from you workstation.
